DRINK-MIXING DEVICE.

Toallfwhom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, ADoLrH KEPPELER, a

citizen of the United States, residingat Butte, in the county ofSilverbow and State of Montana, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Drink-Mixing 1 )evices, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to devicesfor mixing liquids by agitating thesame, and its object is to provide a novel form of rotary dasher whicheffects a quick and thorough mixture of the liquid and which isconstructedgto force the'liquid toward the bottom of the glass or otherreceptacle and thus keeps it from overflowing or splashing out. In orderthat the invention may be better understood-reference is had to the,accom- 'panyin drawing, in which a perspective view o the dasher isshown.

Referring specically to the drawing, the

i dasher comprises ashaft 5 having a spiral rib 6 which may be a pieceof wire, the same v being wrapped spirally around 'the shaft andsoldered or otherwise secured thereto.

The upper end of the shaft has a head 7 provided with a socket 8 toreceive the end of the shaft of thedrive motor, to which latter shaftthe dasher is made fast by -screws 9 passing through the. head. Anyother suitablev means may be provided for Y couplingrthe dasher to themotor or drive shaft.

he lower end of the shaftr has a conical foot piece 10. The spiral ribex- Specification of Letters Patent.-

distance below the upper end thereof down to the foot piece.

In operation, the glass or other receptacle containing the liquid to'bemixed isplaced so that the dasher enters the same, withthe foot pieceseating on the bottom of the glass.

The motor is then startedto rotate theA beater, whereupon the liquid isquickly and thoroughly mixed by being agitated by the .spiral rib 6. Thedasherl is rotated from the right to the left, and the rib runs in sucha direction that when the dasher is'rota-ted in the direction stated,the liquid is forced downward toward the bottom of the receptacle. Theliquid is therefore prevented from overflowing or splashing out over the-top of the receptacle. When the dasher is in operation the rib 6.isentirely below the surface of the liquid which also prevents it fromsplashing.

I claim:

A liquid mixing dasher comprising a' rotary shaft having a conical footpiece at its lower end and means for agita-ting the liquid, saidagitating means comprising a: wire wrapped around the shaft spirallv andsecuredv thereto, said wire extendingv from a point adjacent to theupper end offthe shaft and terminating at the foot piece. C) Intestimony whereof I aiix my signature in presence o f two witnesses.
